Domino® server-based certification authority
You can set up a Domino® certifier that uses the CA process server task to manage and process certificate requests. The CA process runs as a process on Domino servers that are used to issue certificates. When you set up a Notes® or Internet certifier, you link it to the CA process on the server in order to take advantage of CA process activities. Only one instance of the CA process can run on a server; however, the process can be linked to multiple certifiers.
Adding a certifier to the CA process
To manage the CA process, use Tellcommands at the server console.

Adding a certifier to the CA process

To manage the CA process, use Tellcommands at the server console.

About this task

You must reload the CA process each time you restart a server. You can do this through the server console command load ca. As an alternative, you can add the parameter ca to the ServerTasks= line in the server's NOTES.INI file, and the CA process will begin automatically when you start the server.

Procedure

If the CA process is not already running, at the server console enter:
```
load ca
```
If the CA process task is already running, it automatically adds newly-created certifiers when it refreshes, which takes place every 12 hours. However, the time period in which the Administration Requests database processes CA requests will vary. If you want to hasten the process, at the console enter:
```
tell adminp process all
```
```
tell ca refresh
```
And then enter the following to see if the new certifier has been added:
```
tell ca stat
```
